I had PM'ed some people a few weeks ago about wanting to get down to LV for a fun fly. My plans changed but now they seemed to have opened back up (a good thing).... with a crunch on the time frame. I'm wonder if anyone would want to get together Friday 11/26, the day after Thanksgiving for a fun fly.

It seems like the Friday evenings might be getting a little chilly but it appears that people are still flying Friday in the evening? Since many people will have Friday off I'm wondering if anyone might want to start flying around 1pm.

I'm hoping we have some takers as I'd really like to get down there before winter sets in.

Can anyone tell me if there might be room to put up some larger SLK, yea, nay or does it depend on people using the field?

Anyone getting out there early.... in the afternoon on Friday? It's a 6 hour drive (I'd need to leave around 6am) so I'd like to get in as much flying as possible. Plus, it would be warmer in the afternoon!

the group which huddles around the heaters won't be there. they're going off to the desert to ride atv's. i could definitely be talked into going earlier while the sun is still up. dano is right though, the wind has been really flaky. 0-15mph, but either 0 or either 15, no in between. :p

if you have the breeze, there's room to fly big kites. if they're up, we just fly sport kites underneath. day after thanksgiving i'd imagine the soccer players won't show up so there'd be more room than you'd have kites, especially during the day.

maybe kent will chime in here, but if it's just kent and i from the local set, i'd rather at least start during the day, as it's dark here at 5pm now.

the chance for wind though on one day specific day of the week this time of year though i'd say is about 1 in 7.

I'm hoping with the flaky temps this time of year that the winds will be pretty good for at least part of the day.

I'm glad to hear that so many people are interested! I have an email out to another person here to see if he wants to join me. Right now I plan on leaving SLC around 6am and getting down there around 1pm.

I'll load the truck up with some stuff to accommodate what ever is going on.

I'm really looking forward to this! Hope my friend can go as it will make the drive much easier.

Good deal... now I'm _really_ excited about this fly! My friend declined to go as he just got back from LV but I'm still trying to talk him into the trip. Free transportation and lodging and I still can't get someone to go (which is typical).

I know it's going to be on the chilly side but 1) it's got to beat the 2" of snow I've gotten so far tonight and the snow that will be falling over the next 3 days and 2) that is why they make long underwear.

I made my hotel reservations... staying at the Ramada off Flamingo Rd.

I'm hoping to leave here around 6am. We currently have a Weather Advisory for a blizzard (hitting right now) with temps dropping into the 10's as highs. Something about packing up kites for a fun fly when it's snowing and freezing outside. Still, I'll take 50 degrees above what is outside my house right now.

Hoping to see some people out there in the afternoon. I'm packing some heavy cloths for the evening. Winds look to be good but dropping off starting around 6 or 7pm (between 4pm and 10pm the wind shifts 180 degrees). So I think the best winds will be before then (around 5mph).

I'm looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone in LV. I've been wanting to get down there and fly. Bundle up and come on out!
